If you want to bottle condition and not use a sweetener, you will have to used a non-fermentable sugar (Lactose ??) otherwise you will run the risk of exploding bottles by bumping up the sugar level.

May I say again many thanks to falafael for pointing me towards llannige's original post on Atomic Lemon as I was intrigued by this recipe. Well, I made the stuff months ago now and said I would post a progress report. It took a very long time to ferment out and I left it on the fruit the whole...

Thanks for the help, now I understand the operation of the controller a bit better I can switch on the unit and have temperature controlled chilled beer at say 4 degrees within 10 mins. (no freezing) stat seems OK. and it runs almost silently. I still run water through the "python"/water...

Firstly, thanks for the replies I have had so far, I am currently playing with my chiller and will have to post a few more questions. The TRM006 is a very compact unit and does not contain a fan, so from the small amount of info I have obtained from the manufactures website it dose not require...

I have brought a cheap chiller from e-bay. It’s an Alumasc Trimmer, model no. TRM006, brand new, but no operating instructions. It’s a single line model and has standard John Guest fittings for beer in and out. It also has s/steel water in and water out connections about 12 to 15 mm dia...

Many thanks to falafael for pointing me towards llannige's original post on Atomic Lemon as I was intrigued by this recipe. Well I have gone for it as just started 4 galls. Although I found it hard to add 280 gms of sweetener (4 jars !) so only added one (I should be able to adjust sweetness by...

Just came across your post, my Son is a bit of a computer whiz. I will get him to post a reply via. my account in the morning.

Got to say that whoever we get to manage the Baggies there's on common factor running through all the probs over recent seasons, :arrow: the board and in particular :arrow: J. P. I think the club is ripe for a buy-out, lets get some of that oil money into the club. Would have loved all the...

Yes AT. Not going to waste it either, as I am going to invest in some all grain brewing kit to give it a go :party:

I am feeling very happy at the moment as I have just had a result. £5.00 e/w with skybet on Cosmic Sun which WON at 66/1, don't ask me how I picked it, long story :o :clap:

AT You were right to fear Scenic Blast he ran a good one :(

Thanks for the comments Instinct must have told me to gently stir up the bitter to suspend the yeast in the brew, hoping that some vestige of life still exists within it. Unfortunately I am too late to order a new yeast today, but will do that tomorrow and keep some in hand. The elderflower...

Hi Aleman I am a chemist and run a lab myself. I don't know what you requested when you submitted a sample of your water to the lab for testing (ha! ha! :D ), but I think they might have assumed you were a commercial brewer. Let me have your test report and I will comment if I can. (free of...

I am new to forums and may have miss-posted my question or have missed any replies :-( I have just rekindled my interest in home brewing, can't believe it's been nearly 40 years since my first brews, some of which were OK. I have brought loads of basic kit in the last few days (for kit brewing)...

Hi all, This is my first post, having had a quick look around I am very impressed with the forum. I have never made a brew from Elderflower. I picked my elderflower Wed 3rd June on a loverly sunny day, did my infusion to make 25 L of Elderflower Champagne (added 2 kg white sugar I did not take...
